Walk indirectly to jail
Article Abstract:
The Great British Monopoly Challenge involved more than 80 teams raising money for a range of charities. They aimed to visit all the locations in London, England, on a Monopoly board in as short a time as possible. The competitors also had to undertake a range of challenges indicated by 'Chance' cards at various locations, and were sometimes sent to destinations which they had not chosen to visit. Some destinations were within walking distance of each other, while for others it was necessary to travel by bus or underground train.

Between the living and the dead
Article Abstract:
Medical experts still have very little understanding of the functioning of the human brain. This means that it is very hard to make decisions about whether a coma patient should be allowed to live or die. In some cases, patients have been almost abandoned as brain dead but have later made a complete recovery. Improvements in the treatment of coma patients over recent years have led to many more cases of spontaneous recovery.

Do we need TV weather forecasters?
Article Abstract:
Television weather forecasters seem to give the impression of being extremely competent and knowledgeable. However, what they say actually has very little meaning at all. It is very hard to follow everything that they say, and viewers often find that they have missed the information about the area in which they live. Forecasters also use strange hand movements which serve to confuse viewers even further.
